summer days

well, i've been doing even more talking lately--repeating all kinds of words.  probably my favorite is "car". Daddy will be happy to know that i can identify him in pictures now (and mommy too). we're working on grandma, grandpa, grammi, and papa!  i'm determined to start coloring. mom got a little $1 coloring book for me at walmart today and i LOVED watching how the crayons colored the paper. i'm still figuring out exactly how to do it, but don't worry, i'll get it...also, mom inflated my new frog swimming pool today.  she learned a very important lesson. if something is larger than your head, use an air pump. she is still recovering from oxygen deprivation. i had a blast in the pool though, and that's all that matters! :0) we also got a big purple rubber ball at walmart, which makes me squeal with delight whenever i even look at it.  i've decided i don't like having my diaper changed. remember my old "happy place" on the changing table?

that's a thing of the past...mom and i are planning to stroll down to the park to hear an old college buddy and his band who are performing outdoors this evening.  happy weekend!
